oldschooltommy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Nice. I actually edited that in knowing that’s probably one of the books they can’t make available again in any format due to licensing issues but one can always hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrippyHippy Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 For the 40th Anniversary, could Chaosium please bring about an alignment in the stars that could see Cthulhu finally rise and consume everything? T’would be spectacular. 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandilarasM Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 During the Chaosium "Impromptu 2" gathering on Discord, almost a month ago on the 27th of March, Rick Meints mentioned something about a Kickstarter, starting this April, for the reprint of the CoC 2nd edition boxed set. Unless the stars are not quite right yet, this should probably be coming very soon. That alone is a fine way to celebrate the 40th Anniversary, although I'm sure there will be more to come! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrippyHippy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) In order to celebrate the 40th Anniversary, could Chaosium give away the entire catalogue of Call of Cthulhu titles for free?

I love it! Not every single illustration maybe, but in total, it's the best, barring maybe the classic 5e. And the font size is just perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would you want to reprint that when there is so much other great stuff out there. &e CoC has such a great layout and artwork that makes it one of its selling points to play. Why not reprint Spawn of Azathoth or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the look and feel of the Keeper's Book, especially the 2 pages pictures at the start of each chapters. On the flip side, some illustrations are not great. The Investigator's Handbook, has a similar style but doesn't look as good. It's too yellow for my taste. That being said, I find the new layout, template and color palette (like in Pulp Cthulhu or Masks of Nyarlathotep or Malleus Monstrorum, etc) much nicer and easier on the eyes.

My understanding is that Chaosium has a tradition of reprinting "core"-style products for anniversaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it expanded like MoN. I can totally visualize my book shelves with the following slipcases side by side: Call of Cthulhu, Masks of Nyarlathotep, Spawn of Azatoth and Shadows of Yog-Sothoth. Glorious! (not that I am asking or expecting it for the 40th anniversary) Edited April 29, 2021 by DreadDomain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An important clarification! Big difference between a reprint and a 7E conversation with updated layout, art, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
